Both men and women of different age groups can have dark circles.

2. Apply gram flour with tomato juice.
3. Apply raw potato juice alternately.
4. Start a few eye excercises.

In case you do have tanning, apply honey with a dash of lime on your face.
Eat right and healthy that too on time, relieve your stress/ tensions, sleep well, stop smoking, as this restricts blood flow to your face and leaves you with a greyish complexion. lead a healthy lifestyle!
